I forgot to mention...

In the post I wrote yesterday I talked about the Slinky Shrug-pattern. I forgot to mention how I found out about the existence of this pattern. So I'll make up for that:

If you want to see it already made and get some great tips, then go over to the blog of The Sewing Divas by clicking here. Mary Beth wrote a post about it and already made one up!
And thanks Sigrid for your comment in which you mentionned the post of Mary Beth. I did found it there initially, but your help is highly appreciated.

And now I wrote this I feel like I want to thank all of you who leave comments on my posts and everyone who takes time to read my blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy yours. (And if you don't have a blog yet, start one. It's fún !!) Please feel free to leave a comment any time. I absolutely love it. With my blog I try to give back what I receive from the sew-and-blog-community. I read so many sewingblogs, I thoroughly enjoy them and I will try to leave a comment every now and then.

Now, this was my third post in two days. I'm gonna take a break from blogging now. At least for a few days....

Have a great week everybody.

Gr.
Lilian

    Hey! First off, your blog's title is very clever, I like it. :) I took a quick look at your previous posts and pictures and the quality of the photos seems OK to me. I'll have a closer look when I'm home! :)

My preferred way of finishing necklines and armscyes on a knit shirt

Image
This week I'm enjoying my autumn break. A whole week to do some much needed sewing. The plan is to do some easy sewing. Nothing too complicated. Last friday I started on a cardigan for which I revisited the pattern I used  here  and   here . And my next make is already finished as well: a nightgown, made from a lovely cotton jersey which is a dream to work with! I already made one before with the same type of fabric (black with flowers) and it gets worn a lot. The fabric I used is bought with this nightgown in mind. I thought it would be fun to show you how I finished the neckline and armscyes. It's a very easy method and I prefer it over the method where you fold the band and sew it on, double layered. It's a thin line between stretching the band too much and causing puckers or not stretching it enough so it won't lay flat. For me it's hard to get that right. But with this foldover method it's actually easy-peasy.  Make sure when you cut your pattern you don...

Let's start 2011 with Top 3b from KnipMode 2008-08

Yoohooo...best wishes for 2011 everyone!!! I hope you all had a great time celebrating. I know I'm a bit late. But the fact is that I spent the last week in bed because of a flu that had me down in more than one way. Things seem to be looking up however and it was about time I showed my face. O, wait, that's another story. I'm not showing my face yet for I have an infection on my chin at the place where a mole has been removed 5 weeks ago. It was for pure cosmetical reasons and I can't seem to shut up that little voice in the back of my head saying: "Serves you right for being vaaaaain...!!". I have some cream for it since yesterday and next monday I'm gonna pay my physician another visit to have it checked. I was hoping for a recovery with an almost invisible scar. Now I'm just hoping for a recovery. Strange, how easy you adjust your expectations. Luckily I have a very pretty, headless model in my house. That's right, The Blue Lady. And she ...

My (re)view on KnipMode September 2015 - The Make-over

Image
Months ago it was announced : Knipmode was going to get a make-over. Main change was gonna be an adjustment in the range of sizes. Each pattern was going to be offered in sizes 34 to 54. And as it goes with everything that is announced far in advance, suddenly the day has come that you find the new magazine in your mailbox. In this post I would like to give my opinion on the changes that have been made. Feel free to disagree.  From: KnipMode Magazine - September 2015 The first thing you notice is the size of the magazine . I didn’t measure it but I think that it’s about an 1/2 inch larger in width and 1 inch in height. Does that matter? I think it does. Apart from more room for larger pictures, they used a larger font size for the descriptions, which is easy on the eyes. Next thing  is the cover . The previous covers were made of shiny paper. Now it’s matte, firmer and more solid. Nice! Altough I cherish my old issues of KM and Burda, more th...
